8200/6100 Intel x553 NIC and certain SFP+ modules

[stephenw10]

Are you seeing errors on the interfaces?

Do you have any traffic shaping?

[lio1503]

@stephenw10
I see some error on interfaces and no traffic shaping configured.

[lio1503]

[stephenw10]

No errors shown there. So some on the WAN?

How are you testing the throughput?

[lio1503]

@stephenw10

I put the wrong image sorry

[stephenw10]

Hmm, not really a significant number there. Nothing that would cause throttling to that extent.

What about the PPPoE parent interface? Which I assume is ix0?
Try: netstat -i and ifconfig -v ix0

[lio1503]

Hi @stephenw10

Here the result of commands

Thanks

[stephenw10]

Ok huge number of input errors on ix0. That's what you'd expect for bad downloads.

You have an XPON module in there I assume? Can you access that to get stats?

You can check the sysctl output for ix0 to see what type of errors those are: sysctl dev.ix.0

@stephenw10

Yes I use this module on ix0 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06XG9DPJ7?th=1
and this cable to unifi switch for Lan on ix1 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01M09C9NZ?th=1

However what's different is that that isn't an XPON module it's just an 10GbaseT module.

Technically neither type is supported by the X553 NICs because they don't have the data lines to detect the link type.

What exactly is that connected to? At what speed?
